  1. A 30.63 g
  2. B 40.64 g
  3. C 20.38 g
  4. D 15.63 g
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 30.63 g

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Molar mass of \(C_6H_5OH = 6(12) + 6(1) + 16 = 94 \, g/mol\) Molar mass of \(Br_2 = 2(80) = 160 \, g/mol\) From stoichiometry: \(1 \, mol \, C_6H_5OH\) reacts with \(3 \, mol \, Br_2\) Mass of \(Br_2 = \frac{6 \, g}{94 \, g/mol} \times 3 \times 160 \, g/mol\) Mass of…
